I think I see the problem. Does the Metra connector try to get 'switched' power from the OEM H/U....
connector?
If so, this may be your problem.
What year TT?
this connection does not always supply a stady switched +12V.
I suggest you look at this, and tray a source of switched power from the fuse box.

Because your 03 doesn't have switched power at the harness - 03 unit powered by canbus

Your best, safest bet is to remove the lower dash, and tap in right at the back of the fuse box.
This old, slightly out-of-focus shot outlines the middle area of the rear of the fuse box. This area is all "switched" by the ignition relay.
Solder or tap into a wire here, that goes to your fuse that goes to your H/U/
